North Carolina steps into meteorological fall with calm, dry skies, giving Newport residents a stretch of quiet weather into midweek. Sunshine will dominate, and travel along U.S. 70 stays smooth with no major weather disruptions expected through Friday.
According to the National Weather Service in Morehead City, tonight’s low will dip to 63 under partly cloudy skies. Winds from the northeast could gust near 21 mph, so lighter outdoor items should be secured. Tuesday brings mostly sunny conditions and a high near 81, keeping humidity manageable and air quality favorable for outdoor plans.
By Wednesday, Newport warms to 82 under clear skies, and winds ease to a gentle breeze. Thursday marks a slight uptick in temperatures, with highs around 84. Friday will be the warmest day of the week, climbing to 87 with plenty of sun. Nights stay comfortable, ranging from the mid-60s to low 70s.
While other parts of the country may catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights this week, North Carolina skies remain steady and free from that spectacle. Instead, locals can look forward to consistent, pleasant conditions that make for ideal beach visits, fishing trips, and late-summer evenings outdoors.
This week offers a rare September stretch of predictability before shower chances return by Saturday night.
